Here are my opinions, not official, just the opinions of a single coach who has done this for a few years: 1) Pick one only, don't mix and match. In other words, can't add cards to 1AC that are not listed as 1AC in the packet, and you can't take cards from Constellation 1AC and put them in the SSP 1AC; 2) Space Colonies can be run in MS varsity, so yes, you can run evidence from that packet; 3) Yes; 4) No; 5) Because each plan is different depending upon the case. For e.g., you couldn't solve space colonies by putting up space satellites, you couldn't solve asteroid mining by doing the Constellation plan. Great to have you with us.

Can anyone answer these? 1. Does affirmative need to pick one case or can you use all the cases? 2. Can you incorporate MS JV evidence? 3. Is SSP and SPS the same argument? 4. Is there a way to get a glossary? 5. Why are there different plans for different cases? Thanks so much! Have a great day! I’m brand new to coaching and have a MS Varsity team with some questions.

2. Can you incorporate MS JV evidence?
3. Is SSP and SPS the same argument?
4. Is there a way to get a glossary?

Thanks so much! Have a great day!

Ext means an Extension brief - one that extends the arguments in a Front Line brief. On the negative, Front Lines are generally read in the 1NC, and extensions are read in 2NC and 1NR.
